剧 情 简 介
本片改编自查尔斯．杰克逊的同名小说。故事描述有才华的知识分子唐包翰是个自尊心很容易受挫的人，在一次退稿的打击后开始酗酒。后遇女友海伦，爱情的力量使唐把酒精抛开，但由于海伦的父亲批评他醉生梦死，使他再次失去自信，沉溺在酒精中不能自拔。后来他失去生存的勇气，想要自杀，在海伦的极力劝阻和鼓励下，又使他重新燃起生活的希望。这是美国影史上出现的第一部以严肃态度探讨酗酒问题的电影。影片开始的第一个镜头是纽约市高楼大厦的全景，暗示这是一个有普遍性的故事。编导单刀直入切进主题，紧盯着男主角在这个三天的长周末饱受酒精折磨的遭遇，将酒徒的精神状态和肉体行为都刻划得入木三分.
The script and score are superb and the acting flawless. Ray Milland is riveting in the role of a man who is as consumed by alcohol as it is consuming him. He lives and breathes for it and all around him become secondary including his long suffering girlfriend. There is always a girl like this in the life of a good looking useless purposeless alcoholic kept afloat by either a wife or other family member, in this case a brother who pays the bills and tries to sober him up and dry him out periodically. The score is relentless and highly avant garde for its time, featuring music normally backing sci-fi flicks. Some of the scenes are profoundly frightening, his stay in the drunk tank with a sadistic feminine male nurse outlining all the horrors that await him and his DTs which feature a bat biting the head off a bird. Very well done. I felt the ending was a little too pat, that would be my only fault with this. 9 out of 10. Excellent.
